'Masculin' Happy Birthday and Learning to Emboss!

I made for my brother-in-laws birthday. I found this idea on Kim's blog at http://www.clearlyinspired.blogspot.com/ . I used the following materials:

• CTMH "It's A Guy Thing" paper pack
• CTMH Photo clips
• CTMH letters (November campaign)
• Baseball brads (dollarama)
• Ribbon (Michaels)

I taught my 8 year old daughter Ashleigh how to emboss last night! She did an amazing job, so thought I would share!

Happy Birthday!

I bought a card kit at Michaels that has 40 embossed cards and envelopes and all you have to do is embellish them! I used the CTMH chalk on this one and using a kleenex, I wiped it across the card, then added the rest of the embellishments. Nice and easy and looks really nice too!!

I'm Entering My First Contest!!!

Hello! Well, I'm entering a layout in my very first contest! We had to go to "A Scrapbookers Dream" and pick up these Christmas lights and then incorporate them into a project. Here's the materials I used:

• CTMH (no longer available) glitter stack
• CTMH adhesive sheets (no longer available)G
• Gold curly ribbon
• CTMH Evensong paper pack
• CTMH Holiday Red stamp pad
• CTMH distressing tools
• CTMH Merry & Bright acrylic stamp set
• CTMH Magical Christmas acrylic stamp set
• CTMH prisma glitter
• CTMH watercolor pencils and blending pen
• CTMH (past) Connections Club ribbon

I put the adhesive sheet on the light and then pulled it down just to the screw part and added the glitter, then pulled the pc right off to add the gold on the bottom of the light. Using the stipple distressing tool, I went around the edges of the paper as well as the photo's to give it an aged look, also used the edging tool around the edges. I added the little 3x3 card to do my journalling and on the square above Ashleigh's picture, I added the words "The Magic Of Christmas Never Ends" (I forgot to take the pic before I dropped it off!)

Christmas 'Elf' Tags

Here's 2 little 'Elf' tags that I did. The cards are 3x3 and the little squares are 2x2. I used the following materials:

• CTMH Evensong paper pack
• CTMH Acrylic Stamp set "Merry Pursuits"
• CTMH Adhesive sheets (no longer available)
• CTMH watercolor pencils
• ribbon

Using green cardstock, you cut out 3x6 strips and then scor at 3" which gives you your 3x3 card. Now, using patterned paper of choice, cut your 3x3 square. This is what you will adhere to the front of your 3x3 CS card. Decorate your 2x2 squares as desired. Have fun!

TIP: If you're using ribbon and you want it to wrap around or if you want to add eyelets etc, do them all BEFORE adhering your 3x3 patterned paper to your card and this way, you won't see the ribbon etc! Do your 'face' first!

My First Kid's Club

Hello! Enjoying this snowy day? Well, I had my first kid's club today. They did an amazing job on their paint cans!! The class was actually only an hour and a half, but they really enjoyed themselves. My first one, so I didn't expect it to be huge. I do have 3 more kids coming, just a different day, also have 2 that may come and also sold a kit. So I'm happy with the results.
I changed the idea just a bit and let the girls glitter and/or chalk their snowflakes and one of the girls, Alyssa (6) gave her snowman rosy cheeks and hands. Too cute! They turned out awesome!
Ashleigh did hers with the darker paper, so it looks like her snowman is 'in the night time'!

GREAT job girls!

Invitation Sample

Hello! I have been working on some invitations and thought I would show you. You can order these as well. These particular ones are for a friend of mine. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it's loading sideways. The card is called a 'tri-fold' and the ribbon actually pulls from the side and the card opens up to show your invitation information or birthday wishes, whatever you choose!
